Presso vs vFairs
vFairs Alternative: Published Pricing, No Licence
Competitor pricing last checked 07/08/2026
How Presso Events compares with vFairs, with every vFairs figure carrying the date it
was last checked.
Presso Events charges a flat 1% of ticket sales. No minimum, no tiers, no contract, and the
browser-based attendee app is part of the product rather than an add-on. Ticket money lands in
your own Stripe account.
The table below is the short version. The case for vFairs is under it, because a comparison
with no case against itself is an advertisement.
When vFairs is the better choice
vFairs is a genuinely deeper platform than Presso in several places, and for some events those places are the whole event. Their virtual and hybrid offering - HD live streaming, interactive virtual booths, networking lounges - has no Presso equivalent. Neither does exhibitor booth management, call-for-papers and abstract review, badge printing, or 20+ language support with automatic translation. Every plan comes with a dedicated project manager, which is worth real money if you would otherwise be running a large event alone.
Questions
- How much does vFairs cost?
- vFairs does not publish a price. Its pricing page carries no figures at all - every route is "Get Pricing", "Book a Demo" or a guided demo request, and its own FAQ refers to paying for "your vFairs annual license" (vfairs.com/pricing, seen 07/08/2026). Additional sessions, extra booths, more attendees, accessibility features and managed services are all sold as add-ons on top. Presso publishes a flat 1% of ticket sales, VAT included, with no minimum.
- Does vFairs have a free plan?
- No. Their pricing FAQ answers this directly: "No, vFairs does not offer a free plan" (seen 07/08/2026). Presso is free until your first paid ticket sells, and free tickets stay free - so you can publish an event and see it working before anything is charged.
- Is there a vFairs alternative with published pricing?
- Presso. A flat 1% of ticket sales, VAT included, no minimum and no annual licence - the number is on the pricing page rather than at the end of a demo. You can work out what an event costs you before you speak to anybody.
- Does vFairs charge more as attendee numbers grow?
- Their pricing FAQ lists "more attendees" among the paid add-ons, so attendee headroom is something you buy (seen 07/08/2026). Presso's flat 1% is charged on ticket sales rather than headcount, so there is no attendee cap to top up and free tickets never cost you anything.
- Do vFairs attendees need to download an app?
- vFairs ships native attendee apps through the Apple App Store and Google Play, published by vFairs LLC, and its white-labelled branded app is part of the paid package (seen 07/08/2026). Presso Events is a Progressive Event App: attendees open it in the browser in one tap with nothing to install.
